after watching this video i realised i'm confused about things i didn't even know i could be confused about

[@humanbeing8400]

Lol

[@debiia]

Great video! I think there's a confusion about saturation. "Saturated" actually refers to a color's purest form. When you say a color is saturated you mean it's the most clear it can get. The opposite of saturated is desaturated, wich you get as the color looses it's vividness. The thing is most people relate "muted" with grayish tones, but in reality, with a medium value color, you'll notice it starts to look more grayish as it desaturates, but with a really dark or a really light value color, you'll only notice it by the absence of tone.

[@tamaraarriola6582]

As an illustrator, I was thinking the same. For example, if you totally desaturate a picture it will transform in a black and white image. On the other hand, a highly saturated image would have the brightest, more vibrant colors, the more vivid version of them. There are so many tricky words about color, it's perfectly normal be a little confused about them. 😊👍 Great video as always!

[@natalieg9853]

I was confused for a moment as well! I think it might just be a matter of different jargon for different industries 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bitrudder3792]

In art classes, I got the same definition of saturated. Pure color without white, gray, black or brown added. Secondary and tertiary colors which are Blends, can also be saturated, with no white &/or black added. In some systems, clear colors are always either tinted with white or left clear and saturated. Like springs, with a touch or more of white. Or Icy Winter colors, white with a tiny hint of pure color. Summers have a touch of gray in the colors. Autumns have a touch of black added to their colors, but some autumn colors are so muddy (thinking of some hideous camping clothing) that just frankly don't bring a glow to anyone's face that I can find. Who knows what they put into those colors, lol! That said, certain colors with a touch of black added is stunning on dark winters (and cool summers, which is probably the closest to her soft summer.) I like the 16 type system, and I feel like I fall closest into “dark summer“ but I’ve never seen that type anywhere except on the Kettlewell Website.

[@hs-zd4ch]

That is why I think the words used in the diagrams she showed in the last section makes more sense to use "muted" instead of saturated.

[@safegourd]

Yeah, as an artist i was confused by the wording. I think “dimensional” is more accurate to what she was trying to convey

[@artisticcrossbreed]

I understand the confusion about the term "saturated" in this context, because in the visual art community "saturated" means very bright, and "desaturated" means the colour is closer towards grey. So it feels like the opposite to how i normally think of the word "saturated" when it comes to colour

[@uwuowo4069]

Also confused me but I think it means when you have a mix of a bunch of saturated colors, they mud together and create an unclear colour. So its not so much "saturated" as "so many saturated colors that we're back into muted tones"

[@mjfanta1915]

I think it means "saturated with gray" or some other undertone that makes everything more monochromatic.

[@greenLimeila]

Yes! to me, "saturated" and "muted" are opposites, not synonyms...

[@regroovable]

Color saturation refers to the intensity of colour, as the saturation increases, the colours appear to be more pure so the definition in this tutorial is incorrect. Highly saturated colours are the OPPOSITE to muted & greyish colours ❤💛💙

[@maridsil]

@@mjfanta1915 when you mix grey with a color you are decreasing its saturation, making the color less saturated, because you are mixing in white and black which both have saturation = 0

[@nelle6363]

Determining whether you're warm or cool is way more difficult than I initially thought it was. My mom and I always thought we were both very cool toned, but after swatching my mom yesterday with the various colors we have around the house, lo and behold, she glows in the bright, *warm* colors! We were both so used to seeing her skin in cool tones, that it took us awhile to recognize how much better she looked in warm. Then I got to thinking about me, wondering if I was truly a soft summer because I had recently found a very muted, very blue top that washed me out. So I looked up several soft autumn color palettes and thought, "Would you lookie there, all of those colors are the colors that look good on me." I can't wear *clear* warm colors (the horror of me in bright yellow or orange 😬), and so I always thought I must be cool. Nope. Just need to be wearing *muted* warm colors instead.

[@LibertyIndiaRose]

i struggled with this for so long because i'm neutral toned so i realised thats probably not my defining feature, then realised i've got to be some kind of winter. just trying to work out which winter

[@keatonpotatoes4552]

I've been draped, so I know 100% where I belong, however I have always struggled with warm vs cool, and I think it's because people dismiss neutral undertones. Even using the method you suggest, I really struggle because I actually have hints of both peach and purple. This was always my area of confusion. I typed myself as a bright spring, but I am actually a light summer. (your summary of bright "for a summer" TOTALLY made sense to me!) Anyway, long winded way of saying that I loved your video, but wanted to point out that some people might struggle with cut and dry warm vs cool.

[@phoebelang6394]

As a soft summer apparently I can get away with both silver and gold as I have neutral undertones however, it’s best to avoid shiny metals and instead go for a more matte finish. I thought this was an interesting way of looking at it: I can go for cool and warm tones but they should always be desaturated and muted instead of bright.

[@martina_laray]

@@phoebelang6394 That is exactly my case as well! Neither bright gold or bright silver jewelry really look good on me. Brass / antique silver suit me far better - basically jewelry that is muted in tone no matter if it's warmer or cooler leaning. The closer to neutral, the better.

[@merrygray2791]

@@phoebelang6394 I'm the same way. My wedding ring is silver but I gravitate to gold more and after wearing my ring for so long, I can tell, just from the reaction of the metals against my skin, that it doesn't really matter for me. I'm technically a true summer but because of my neutral undertones I can float throughout all three summer palettes. I can wear most of the colors in the soft summer and probably half of the light summer colors. I hadn't thought of looking at jewelry finish though, that's really interesting!

[@cristin794]

I can relate. As a soft summer, I can pull off soft autumn when I get a little “tan” (for me). One analyst even named a new type for people who are transitional between two types.

[@Snowhite-tx4sm]

We neutral toned ones always struggle! I really have a hard time to know what i'm as I've both warm and cool undertones too. Asking mom also doesn't help coz she says "you look good in most colours", so even if I won't be one type atleast I wanna know what season is the closest to me so I'll build my wardrobe depending on it.

[@berlineczka]

I think the clear/saturated-muted-soft-dimentional names are still confusing. I would opt for something like "streamlined vs. complex" colouring. This way it is clear what is meant: is your colour easy to name, it's simple and straighforward? Or is it compound, complex. with many add-ons, hues and tints mixed in?

[@kjeanpociask]

Totally agree. Art School graduate and color theory nerd here. The confusion is coming from a misuse of ‘saturated’. Saturated means ‘vivid; very bright, full and free from an admixture of white and/or black.’ I.e., there isn’t any grey mixed into the color (because in order to add grey, you have to mix in white + black). The word you’re looking for is ‘desaturated’ to mean muted or less vivid. So the terms that line up are: saturated, vivid, clear, bright, easily named vs. desaturated, muted, soft, hazy, faded, muddied or dull, not easily named - more complex. (Some of these terms feel less than flattering, which I think might be why there is such a variety in use - people are trying to avoid words like ‘dull’ or ‘muddy’.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@kjeanpociask Yes. Unfortunately Kibbe made it very confusing when he used the word saturated when the literal definition is the opposite. I get why he used it but it’s too confusing to use.

[@jessicavanderdysrasler8193]

I agree with this and find this video confusing because of it. Saturated = Bright to most color analysts. Muted would be a better choice to describe “lack of distinct color”. Otherwise, the video is great.

[@bethanyyost6173]

To start off I absolutely adore your channel! I am a head head with grayish blue eyes and struggle placing myself in a color season. I stumbled upon this post somewhere and am wondering how accurate you think it is. It said, “ Other than skin tone, eyes show more about a person's season than most physical traits. Each season has a dominant feature which is shown in the eye. The SUMMER eye appears as crackly glass, WINTER - spokes on a wheel, SPRING - Yellow sunburst around a gray doughnut shape, AUTUMN - Aztec sun directly around the pupil with specks and dots sometimes.”

[@coloredpencils01]

Clear is a synonym for saturated/bright in this context. The opposite is muted/grayed.

[@livmas10]

Yes! Please do a video explaining how to tell undertones of fabric colors! I often buy things under fluorescent store lighting and find they aren’t the right color at all. I have to go extremely warm to find a warm tone shirt, anything subtly warm is usually wrong in different lighting.

I truly have no idea after watching the entire thing. The only thing I think I’m certain of it is that unsaturated I don’t know if I’m light or dark I don’t know if I am cool or warm. I feel like I really fall in the middle for both. And wish I had money to book an appointment.

Thank you so much for this video!

With your explanation, I found I'm (in order of certainty) saturated, cool, and medium/light. That would make me a true summer I guess! I will have to explore a little bit with it, but it's good to have a start point that I can either confirm or find false later on.

This is the best breakdown of the 12 seasons, omg!! So perfect. I used to be confused between True Spring and Light Spring. The way you described saturated HIT HOME! I'm def a Light Spring! People have been thrown off by my green eyes for awhile. They're very warm, and people have thought I was a True Spring and even Soft Autumn. But nope! Natural towhead blonde that progressed to dark blonde as I got older, with just hints of red. Light Spring colors bring me out like no other palette can! Some True colors look quite good on me due to my added warmth, but overall I am at home in LSp! 🙏 Thank you SO much!

[@lennea23]

This is so interesting because Ive established Im Light Warm and Saturated implying I would be a soft autumn which makes sense to me actually, I do love and wear a lot of natural, muted and warm tones but some of my favorite pieces and items I lean towards a lot are often cool toned but still muted. Sage Green is my favvvv or muted blues. I love fashion so I wear a lot of different things of all colors but ive always noticed I lean to those colors. I also prefer cool toned hair on myself when I do fashion colors. Greens and blues are my favorite, but always light. I don't feel like myself in warm toned hair, I did a fashion color red once and I didn't feel or look like myself at all. But I do enjoy and often go towards an edgy look so the contrast actually makes sense.

[@camillewampe3322]

This has helped me understand things better but has lead me to still be a bit confused as my primary aspect is saturated or muted (hazel eyes, medium brown hair with red and blonde highlights) but I feel like I’m cool toned. My veins are blue, my lips are more purple, my skin is very pale and I have freckles. I feel like warm colour such as a rust coloured red or warm khaki just make me look either really pink or washed out. This would mean I fall into no category… Confusing 😅

[@agentcallisto]

I have a similar problem: I have blonde hair with gold highlights, green eyes with gold rings around my pupils, but my skin is 100% cool toned. I think after watching this a few times I’m a light summer.

Red is the most flattering color on me and my best color, including brown, purple and black. Pinks and blues are also good on me as long as it's not pastely or too bright and should be on medium-lowe chroma and medium-dark value. "Dirty-looking" colors are the most flattering colors on me than clear and vivid colors or bright and pastely colors.

Hi. You sound more like a summer (maybe light or true summer). However, if you can also wear autumn colors, you might be a soft summer which is a sister season of soft autumn. You'll have to do draping - either by yourself or a professional. I suggest to watch the vids of Colour Analysis Studio.

Something helpful to know for some of us… people with brown eyes can be cool toned! I have naturally dark blonde hair that tends ashy (it’s dyed platinum blonde but my eyebrows tell the true story), dark brown eyes , and pale skin with blue undertones. Every 16 year old at Sephora looks at me and automatically assumes I’m warm toned until they apply the yellow/beige foundation on my skin, make a face, and dab it off before I get a chance to look in the mirror and tell them “I told you so.” I’m a cool-toned winter that looks best in jewel tones in spite of/because of my dark brown eyes.

I’m a soft summer! Tysm ❤

[@queenofalltheflowers2290]

What would you say for me? I have pale neutral skin, but if i had to choose i I would say more warm than cool, but still very neutral, i have medium - dark golden straberry blonde hair, grey eyes with a blue undertone but with orange around my pupil, and dark brown almost black eyebrows, Some particularly flattering colours on me are burnt orange and teal Though i look good in many coloirs like dark green, bright orange, red and rusty red, some slightly reddish purples, normal but darker purple, more neutral gold jewelry I don't suit yellowish gold, i suit silver too, i look good in both balck and white, i look good in many blues and pinks as well, but i find plain grey quite dull on me, same with lavender, and apricot/peach/pale straw washes me out I think i would be light, saturated and warm, but not sure on what season

I need help understanding the differences between bright and saturated? More specifically the differences between Soft Autumn and True Spring.

[@yensid4294]

Um, desaturated colors are light or soft or both & can also be dark. Saturated colors can be clear or dark or both as well as light. Saturation is the amount of hue or chroma a color has, value is the depth (light or dark) Pure red would be a saturated midtone color, deepen it with black & it becomes a darker less saturated color. Add white & it is a lighter desaturated color. Add grey & you get a very desaturated color regardless of depth (value) Soft colors are usually desaturated, toned down colors. Saturated colors are just that ( & not necessarily bright or clear) People get this confused all the time. So for you, desaturated colors are what you want (aka soft) Everyone has a value range & a saturation range that is most harmonious (if that is your goal)

I still have absolutely no idea what "bright" refers to. Does "bright" mean saturated or muted?

[@hettahansen]

I love your videos Ellie! Always so knowledgeable and helpful. I think I’m a bright winter but I have green eyes. Is that possible?

[@MesRevesEnRose]

I did the colour theory backwards in that I took the colours that appear the most in my wardrobe and tried to match my type that way. I was w true autumn. Then I actually did the test the proper way and I was a true autumn. 😊

Please talk what hair color fits best for romantics

[@danil.6667]

My colour season is so hard to pin point to my eye. I'm high contrast but my skin is muddy. It appears warm, but I look better in cool colours. What's wrong with me? 😭

[@katlynburmeister1004]

I thought I was bright spring for awhile but now I am thinking dark autumn??? My primary features are dark and warm - that is definite. A few years ago I realized silver jewelry washes me out and gold instantly brightens my face. My lips also look much better in peachy-pinks than cool-toned pinks. I also look so much better with my natural brunette hair than I ever did trying to be blonde in my young teen years. However, the saturated vs clear is confusing to me... nothing about my features is totally clear, but i wouldn't say I have a lot of gray at all either, and I look HORRID in gray. In winter my skin is much more neutral. My eyes are green but can look more brown depending on the colors I wear. Also, my hair has a red tint to it, especially after being in the sun a lot in the summer! Color theory can be so confusing lol.

[@tracyramos1019]

Elle Fanning is a light summer.

[@LittleQueenB]

Omg I’m so confused 😂 dark blonde hair, green/blue-ish eyes, peach lips… no idea if I’m cool toned or warm toned… maybe cool toned since I don’t see much orange. No idea wtf my saturation level is 😭

[@xAnicsi]

What if I am Light, Warm and Saturated? It would make me a Soft Autumn or Light Spring, right? I really cannot figure it out; As a child my hair used to be almost white blonde, but once I got older it became more like a dark-blonde with copper undertones. My eyes are blue but there is some green in the very center so it's not clear, and I have fair skin but I think I suit peach more than magenta. My eyelashes have always been dark, nearly black, even as a child. I am like, so confused...

[@MoonLightt57]

Was waiting for this vid from sooo long ❤️

[@lindaalden2867]

I have blue eyes, but my hair which i always thought was dark mousey colour I have some blonde highlights only on the top layers, when I wear a pony tail the ponytail my natural colour has a red autumn colour tingh to it.

[@Joyfulcuriosity]

Thank you! I’ve had trouble figuring out my colour season. I’m of Scandinavian descent so my skin is very light and the only thing I’m sure about is that I’m cool. My veins are very clearly blue and my lips have a purple tinge. In the light and dark scale I think I’m medium. I have the exact same shade of hair as the woman in the picture of Soft Summer and my skin is white like hers. I have light eyes, but they’re not blue, they’re greenish gray but not hazel where if you look closely you can see the colours the eyes are made up of, more of a greyish green, like green, grey and a tiny hint of brown have been almost completely mixed up into a grey mess. I was unsure because I interpreted saturated as having features close in depth which I don’t have. Since my hair is considerably darker than my eyes and skin I didn’t think I was muted, I thought I was medium here as well and it was hard to know whether I was a winter or a summer. When you said that saturated means that it’s hard to immediately tell the colour of the features it suddenly clicked that my eyes would mean that I was muted, so I’m pretty sure now that I’m a soft summer. Muted colours do look better than really bright colours on me, however some bright colours like a bright green make my eyes look strikingly green so I tend to gravitate towards them. I also think brighter blue and purple work quite well on me

So detailed and beatifully made.

[@denisadellinger4543]

Wow. There is more to this than just the four seasons. All this just went by my head because it was so fast. Just an intro. I still don't get "bright". I always thought I was a winter, then I was tested and they called me spring. I am not a spring. We all can wear all colors, it is the intensity and if the colors are yellow or blue based. I think this would make a big difference in selecting foundations and makeup. When trying on clothing, I put it up against my face and if I look washed out, it is not my shade but if it brightens my face, then it is my color.

[@overdatop5253]

IM SO LOST! I keep getting told im something different by every quiz! I have dark brown eyes, medium golden-brown hair, and cool undertones with saturated skin. When ever I do a quiz I am told I’m a winter (deep). But whenever I do a quiz that analyzes a picture, I’m told I’m an autumn. But I look at some pictures and maybe I’m a summer? It also doesn’t help that I am color blind, so I don’t trust myself when it comes to looking at the pallets! Idk if you’ll ever see this, but PLS HELP ME!

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. If your natural hair is as you described, you can't be a winter. You may be a summer, spring or autumn. Do you have warm or cool undertone?

[@overdatop5253]

@@kitty_s23456 cool rosy

[@overdatop5253]

@@kitty_s23456 I’m saturated, cool and then I get lost. For reference, my hair is the same shade of brown as most of the summers in this video . But my eyes are SUPER dark brown! I think I’m either a soft summer or dark winter

[@kitty_s23456]

@@overdatop5253 for other analysts, eye color isn't that important. It's mostly the reaction of your skin to the drapes/ colors. The hair color is used to determine your contrast levels. If you're cool toned, then you may be a summer.

[@AngryTheatreMaker]

Great video! I found myself thinking of my maternal grandmother during the True Autumn description--she had vivid auburn hair (in her younger years, obviously), turquoise blue eyes, and a fair complexion with golden undertones. My mother, in stark contrast to this, was a Dark Winter if ever there was, although she could pull from the True Winter palette without losing any credibility. (And then there's me, the Dark Autumn.) Thank you so much! P.S. I was also wondering how best one could express one's season and style via (for instance) scent. Perhaps a subject for another video?

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I am motivated thank you.

There is an old book called “look like yourself and love it” by Jane Segerstrom. while it’s just a four type book, and it is out of date for many fragrances, it actually has a list of fragrances for each type. And she did have subtypes in each type in descriptions at the start of each section. She also talked about emotional use of color and using it for television work because she did some of that. The coolest thing that she had, that was different, was full color plates that you could use to create your own personal color palette by matching your hair, skin, eyes etc. to yourself, and cut them out and carry them with you. Personally, I’m not sure that the perfume guide was very helpful. I think that is still very individual but in a general, there is this idea that Personality is linked to appearance. A spring type would resonate with bright, clean, fresh, citrus-based fresh scents. And autumn type would do well in earthy, spicy or musky perfumes. A summer would blossom in floral fragrances. A winter would where classics like Chanel #5. David Zyla also wrote a color book and associates flowers to some of his types. No pictures, so there’s no real help in determining or color palette, but I remember that the one that seemed closest to me for a while with his jewel toned summer, a.k.a. Glamorous career girl, who is sexiest without any perfume at all, just the smell of soap. You have to wonder, where do these people get their ideas? 🤣 and yet… I honestly don’t prefer to wear perfume most of the time, though I used to be a Chanel #5 girl. These days, I’m more about using essential oils like peppermint and rosemary in the morning because it’s so refreshing and enlivening if I feel tired.

[@AngryTheatreMaker]

@@bitrudder3792 Segerstrom I'm not as familiar with, although I do remember both Suzanne Caygill and Carole Jackson saying similar things about fragrances for the seasons. I think Truth Is Beauty has tried to give fragrance recs for the various subtypes, though I'm not sure how complete that is. McJimsey and Caygill, if memory serves, both suggested flowers for the types they delineated--granted, you won't see that many people wearing corsages or buying bouquets in harmony with their essences or vibes. I do understand where you're coming from re perfume: I have a cat who is the apple of my eye, and one of my biggest concerns about spraying perfume around her is the effect it could have on her respiratory system. Not to mention I can't be bothered most days!

I have medium brown hair, medium cool green eyes, but still cant tell if im a true somer or a true winter

[@marissashea5103]

weird question. could you take a ton of color swatches from a paint store and use that for "draping"? getting professionally draped is not currently in my budget but i really want to redo my wardrobe and spend my money most effectively on clothing that works with my aesthetic/body type/color season

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. You can go to a Goodwill or discount store and use the clothes there for draping. Go with a friend so you have a 2nd opinion on which color suits you better.
